Stats coming off bench: Terry was solid all season, averaging 15.8 points and 4.1 assists per game in 31.1 minutes. He shot 45 percent from the field, although his 3-point percentage of 36 percent was his lowest since 2003-04.

What makes him a terrific bench player: In an upset, we awarded Terry as the top bench player last season over the Lakers' Lamar Odom --- even though Odom was voted the Sixth Man of the Year. Why? Two reasons. 1. Odom basically split his time between being a starter (35) and a reserve (47) while Terry had only 10 starts. 2. Terry's team swept Odom's in the playoffs --- and Terry was phenomenal. He averaged nearly 20 points per game against L.A., including 32 points in a Game 4 close-out. Terry, who averaged 17.5 points and 3.2 assists in the postseason, scored 17, 21 and 27 to help the Mavs win the last three consecutive games and beat Miami for the title.
